I was fortunate to have this professor at least five times and without doubt he is the best. Prof.Christiansen defined who I am now from when I started college two years ago. He has great business experience which he shares with his students. He also outlines clearly what is expected from his students and is a fair grader. He is simply the best.

Prof. Christiansen is by far the BEST educator at Berkeley College, and the fact that he has received even one poor review on this site is outrageous. The only way not to receive an A in his is class, is if you do not commit to learning and doing the assigned work. He makes it impossible not to engage in learning by the way he teaches.
